Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way we design and build, but it’s unlikely to completely replace architects. While AI can handle some routine tasks and assist with tasks such as generative design, construction planning, and virtual reality, it’s unlikely to fully replace the role of human architects in the near future. Architecture requires a combination of technical knowledge, creative problem-solving skills, and an understanding of the social and cultural context in which buildings are constructed, which AI may not be able to fully replicate.

Curved 3D LED glass is a visually striking and energy-efficient exterior cladding solution that consists of curved panels of glass with LED lights embedded within them. These panels can be programmed to change color and intensity, creating a dynamic display. The GEO Tower in Seoul, South Korea is an example of how this technology can be used to create a visually striking and interactive exterior for a building.
